Two residents from Israel's Sharon region are celebrating significant lottery wins after the latest Double Lotto draw. One individual, a man in his 60s, secured a jackpot of 20 million shekels, while another, a man in his 70s, won 6 million shekels. Both winners expressed intentions to maintain their current lifestyles despite the substantial winnings.
The first winner discovered his fortune through a routine ticket check the morning after the draw. He described a habit of scanning his ticket, which combined self-selected numbers with those chosen by lottery terminal. "I have a regular habit: the morning after the draw I scan the ticket," he stated. "This time too, as usual, I scanned the ticket and was surprised to discover I had won. I was so excited that I scanned the ticket several times to make sure there was no mistake." He plans to use the winnings to help his children and secure his own financial future, emphasizing his grounded nature and intention to continue working.
The second winner, who is in his 70s, claimed his 6 million shekels after three consecutive draws without a second prize winner. He consistently uses the same 60-shekel ticket each week, having won smaller amounts previously. He learned of his large win when he visited a sales point to submit his regular ticket, initially being told he won over 10,000 shekels before the full extent of his prize was revealed. He stated, "I always took care of the whole family except for myself, and now God is helping me take care of myself for more well-being and peace." He intends to invest the money wisely and continue his routine, even planning to keep participating in future draws with his familiar ticket.
